Soul You: Wall Washing for Leonardo's 50th Anniversary

For this week's project, we learned how to edge blend two projectors together.
For my project for Leonardo, I designed a traveling door on After Effects.
In order to give the illusion of doors within a door, I used several compositions inside another composition in After Effects. This process was a bit confusing at first, but the final results were quite worth it.

I tried to capture the integration of art and science by showing a galaxy of mysterious clouds and gases when the door opens. One of my classmates commented that this door reminded him of Monsters Inc, because of the different worlds that open up each time. The next "world" the door reveals is the Vitruvian Man, drawn by Leonardo da Vinci in the 15th century. The perfectly proportional man spins alluringly, and the door closes on him. I borrowed this video of the spinning ideal man from Pablo and included it into the final project. The next time the door opens is a black space that symbolizes the grand world we live in; the mysterious and open space envelopes us and makes us feel small. We are mere mortals that are part of a bigger world.
